Gibson Les Paul Humbucker Tones from a 3 Single Coil Blade Pickup Gibson SG – Blues Fingerpicking
Wayne Sorbelli at Island Guitar Key West pulling rich Les Paul humbucker tones from a 3 single coil Blade pickup Gibson SG — pure blues, fingerpicking, no pick, through a small 16 watt tube amp.
Greetings! Wayne Sorbelli here at my Island Guitar Blues Lesson Studio in Key West pulling some Gibson Les Paul humbucker tones from a 3 single coil Blade pickup Gibson SG.
BLUES BLUES BLUES — of course hand picking, no pick — through a small 16 watt tube amp.
The Blade pickups on this SG are surprisingly versatile. With the right amp settings and a light touch, you can coax that warm, thick humbucker character out of single coils that most people wouldn't expect. The key is in the fingers — the pick attack, the angle, the pressure. That's where the tone really lives.
